Filed under: Dale Earnhardt Jr., Nationwide Series, Danica Patrick

The biggest story in racing is spinning out. That became apparent Wednesday when it made the National Enquirer.

No, it wasn't "Lindsay Lohan Confessions" or "Why Jon Gosselin hates Hailey Glassman's guts." Joining those headlines was this grab for attention:

Dale Jr. & Danica NASCAR War.

"Dale is livid at Danica for talking trash about him behind his back," revealed a source. "He's feeling he's giving her entrance into the NASCAR world and teaching her his tricks -- and she's saying how she can beat him."

Just because it's in the Enquirer doesn't mean it's not true. The paper was just nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for its investigation into John Edwards' zipper problems. Inquiring minds now want to know whether Dale Earnhardt Jr. hates Danica Patrick's guts.

According to the usual unnamed sources, insiders, friends and pit-crew observers, the answer is yes. Believe them if you want, but the story behind the story is the real story.

What do celebrities do when they can't really do anything?

They get attention the new-fashioned way. They concoct it.
